Full bodies can require some conditioning time, so it doesn't hurt to slowly ease into them. I just wanted to say that so you don't feel like you are doing anything wrong. It took me almost 6 months to get used to the demands of this style of training.

looking good mate, its always a bit of trial and error with the weights at first as you work out how everything slots together. I simply halved all my weights to start with then worked upo from there. If I were you Id try 100/115/130 foir the dls and see how you get on

Anyway, great workout. Keep charging hard.

Couldn't agree more Steve, thanks for the input. You'll see below that there's barely any improvement between sessions. Just a single rep here and there. I'm not expecting miracles tho as I have dropped the calories and introduced cardio. Just enjoying the change and looking to maintain muscle really.

strong stuff though buddy

Carl.

Sounds good mate, it's definitely a hit to the ego on this routine, especially on the bench but I'm thinking it will be worth it. I mean I was benching 80kg and pulling 150Kg only a few weeks ago but I guess I'll get back to the heavy stuff at a later date.

Holding steady really. Added 2.5kg to the squats and really going deeper than ever before with them, very nearly ATG. Everything else pretty much the same as the last workout. Weighed in at 92Kg even giving me a first weeks loss of 0.6Kg. I'll take that every week for sure.

the heavier stuff will definitely come mate, but remember you are doing things more often for more reps and following exercises that pre=exhaust the muscles. This routine can batter you with relatively light weight. But I also grew my chest more on this routine than I ever had before, even benching half of my usual weight
